Sula Manor Estate (Panski Maentak Sula)

Thanks to the reconstruction of manor estates in different parts of the country, it has become possible to learn a great deal about the rich history of the Belarusian people. Just 40 km from Minsk lies the unique interactive historical park-museum Panski Maentak Sula. The complex has many different sites that let you immerse yourself in the nation's history and take an unforgettable journey from ancient times to the present day.

The Sula estate is surrounded by a three-hundred-year-old park with plants brought from distant countries. The park has a picturesque pond reached by stone-paved paths lined with beautiful wrought-iron benches, where you can enjoy the splendour of the local nature and feel peace and calm.

The estate also has other interesting places:

• The Royal Assembly
• The Stables
• The Chapel
• The Armoury Forge
• The Cromlechs

At the stables you can take riding lessons and enjoy spending time with horses. Children can ride in a phaeton or with an instructor, and romantics can go on one-day or multi-day horseback treks. The Assembly houses a real knights' hall with a fireplace, old paintings, tapestries, torches and chandeliers, as well as a ceremonial hall for 200 people.

On top of a 30-metre hill at Panski Maentak Sula stands a chapel whose ruins recall the former grandeur of these places. The cromlechs, unique ancient ritual structures, will impress even the most demanding history lovers. At the armoury forge you can try forging arrowheads using authentic techniques.

Guests can taste traditional dishes made from recreated ancient recipes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania at the Vyasyoly Pan restaurant. The refined interior with wrought-iron furniture, walls decorated with scenes of knightly tournaments and torches creates a medieval atmosphere.

Guests stay in five houses: the Steward's House, the Boutique Hotel, the Lensky Manor, the Viking House and the Icehouse Wing.
